Fellow AAVSO Members:

The Nominating Committee (Drs. Paula Szkody, Tom Williams, and I) are pleased to present the following slate of candidates for AAVSO Council for the 2014 election. Four are to be elected. All are AAVSO members in good standing, who mave made significant contributions to variable star astronomy and/or the AAVSO. They include 3 professionals and 5 amateurs. They are spread across the country, and represent a wide range of AAVSO-related interests, including education and outreach. There is one incumbent, Dr. Martin. We thank several AAVSO members who contributed good advice and/or suggestions. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order. More biographical information, and candidates' statements will be provided with the ballot.

The ballots have not been sent out yet. This will happen probably Tuesday. According to the ByLaws, we can't give formal notice of the meeting more than 50 days in advance, so the ballots (which are part of that notice) are typically sent out about 6 weeks prior to the meeting.
